“Shen Ying, what are you doing?!” Lonemoon transmitted.
“Huh?” Shen Ying turned to face him.
“What do you mean ‘huh’?! Why did you roll over there all of a sudden?” You’re going to be found out by the invader!
“Er… I’m studying her.”
“…” Studying? You’re pressing up against her to study her? Lonemoon pursed his lips, but Shen Ying did not say anything more. She continued to study Shu Yi and chewed at her fruit at the same time. Yet, Shu Yi still did not seem to notice her. She sat cross-legged where she was. Until…
“Wait, Shen Ying!” Lonemoon shouted.
Perhaps Shen Ying got bored just staring at Shu Yi. She reached out with a finger and poked Shu Yi in the cheek, her head tilted.
It was then that Shu Yi reacted. She jumped and shouted, “Who are you?!” Since when did this person get so close to her? Why hadn’t she noticed before? She instinctively called out to her little system.
“001, what’s going on? Why didn’t you tell me that someone was approaching me?”
[Host, I didn’t sense her either. Perhaps this person’s energy level is too low. I had no way of detecting her either.]
Shu Yi took a closer look and found that there was not even a bit of spirit Qi in Shen Ying’s body. She was a mortal? But how did she get onto this spirit boat? Shu Yi frowned. “What do you want?”
“Er…” Shen Ying hesitated. Very seriously, she handed the fruit in her hand over to Shu Yi. “Do you want to this?”
Shu Yi glanced at the half-eaten fruit and her expression darkened. Did this woman just poke her just to ask whether she wanted to eat her fruit? Anger began to rise up in Shu Yi’s chest. She did not think that this sect would accept such a rude disciple. In a cool voice, she answered, “No!”
“Oh.” Shen Ying retracted her arm and took another bite out of the fruit.
The system sounded once again.
[Host, quick, take the fruit! That’s a thousand-year-old Red Mystic Fruit. You cultivation level will increase by one entire stage if you eat it!]
“What!” Shu Yi exclaimed anxiously. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”
[I just realized that too.]
Shu Yi’s expression changed. She could not miss out on a fruit that would help her to advance by one entire cultivation level. Taking a deep breath, she plastered a smile onto her face and turned to face Shen Ying. “Junior Sister.”
“Mm?” Shen Ying looked up at her.
“This fruit…”
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ying lowered her head and chewed at the fruit at a rapid speed. In two seconds, the half-eaten fruit was no more. All that was left was its core. Shen Ying wiped her mouth and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“…” She was doing this on purpose, wasn’t she!
(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻
[Host, quick! Ask her to leave the core for you. You can plant it in the system’s business city. For all we know, it will grow.]
Shu Yi regained her composure and said excitedly, “Junior Sister, this core…”
Crack!
Shen Ying tightened her grip on the core and caused it to break into two. She took out the seeds inside of it and stuffed them into her mouth. After breaking it down with her teeth, she swallowed them and looked at Shu Yi. “You want it? Here!” She placed the wet and broken core in Shu Yi’s palm.
Shu Yi: “…”
System: “…”
Why did Shu Yi feel like she was being taken for a ride?
“Master…”
